Deploy the Agent While Using an MDM Vanta Does not Integrate with

  • Updated

If you use a mobile device management (MDM) tool that we do not integrate with, you can still deploy the Vanta agent using the script we provide on the unmonitored section of the computers page. It is important to note that these scripts have a VANTA_OWNER_EMAIL field, and we expect that it be set to a unique email string value for every install in order to register the agent to the correct user. The field can not be set to one static email, as all of the agents will register with the person who owns the email.  That being said, if your MDM supports passing variables/arguments to a script, you can leverage this functionality and pass the different employee emails as arguments from a text file or an array. We recommend reaching out to your MDM providers for support on how to achieve this best.
